"A Tiptronic transmission, in an RS series vehicle! First ***** in the armor?
Much has been opined within the enthusiast community regarding a vehicle's sporting nature (or lack thereof) given what type of transmission is fitted. It is common knowledge that semi-manual gearboxes, such as BMW's SMGII, and Ferrari's F1 unit provide superior performance, but as a purists, our hearts belong in the manual gearbox camp. The system in the RS6 isn't even a semi-manual, but rather a standard automatic (with a torque converter) with Tiptronic controls in the form of paddle actuators (a nod to a Formula 1 type driver interface). I refer to these gearboxes as manu-matics. While arguing the moral dilemma of manual vs. semi-manual vs. automatic gearboxes is akin to arguing one's religion, I admit to disliking the idea of an automatic transmission in the RS6. After all, Porsche's top sporting model 911, the GT2 Turbo, is only available with a manual transmission. Pure and simple.
Upon driving the RS6, I realized that the transmission is of no concern. If you can get past the stigma of an automatic transmission, you will not be disappointed. First off, I drove the vehicle in Tiptronic mode. While shift action is smooth (think Ferrari F1 without the jerks), I quickly decided that the paddles are a novelty, a distraction, and a wasted effort. Upon this realization, I set the tranny selector in Sport mode, and let the tranny shift (or not shift) for itself. That's correct. Unlike previous iterations of Tiptronic, the RS6 unit will hold gears in the middle of a turn. Can I get an Amen? Having driven S6s on both the track and street, I was most put off by the transmission's propensity for mid-turn gear shifts. Conversely, we raced the RS6 through freeway on-ramps and off-ramps at speeds that would have your significant other threatening to leave you, and through it all, the tranny held the selected gear.
So, the first potential disappointment, the lack of a manual transmission, had been put to rest. But, this is such a large vehicle, how will it drive? Many would call it a pig (by Porsche standards), others would consider it svelte (Bentley boys), it's all a matter of perception. So how does it handle?
